But not only this, rumour has it that ahead of this year's new Harry Potter film's release date, a new set of stories from the magical wizarding world is about to come your way – quite literally in fact!

At 2pm on March 8 – that's this afternoon people! – J.K. Rowling is set to release four wondrous new wizard stories on the Harry Potter fan website Pottermore, all of which will set the scene for the forthcoming film, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

In an exclusive trailer shown below, the new stories are introduced as 'a brand new wizarding world.', uncovering the unexplored corners of wizarding schools across the world. How exciting?!

The first instalment in the new series, 'History of Magic in North America', will set sail upon stormy seas to recall the stories of the Pilgrim Father, with references to 'skin walkers' and Native American magic, and will also seek to uncover the truth behind the Salem Witch Trials.

The first story will be released at 2pm today, then 2pm Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week.

Make sure you get yourself to the Harry Potter website this afternoon to catch the first instalment!
